The lower part of the; spring B has aslot, b', formed in it, as shown in Iigr 2, for the passage of the upper bolt, screw, o r rivet, by which the holder is secured toits support. n

This construction allows the tension of the spring B to be adjusted, as maybe desired, according to the thickness of the reins to be held and the rmness with which `it is desired that they should be held.

Y O is bar, through which the bolts, screws, or

f rivets that secure the rein-holder toits support pass, as shown in tig. 1, and which may be placed upon the opposite side of said support from the holder AB, `or upon the saine side with it, as may be desired. The

latter arrangement I prefer, in case the rein-holder be ness of the reins. n l 4 JOHN It. AGHENBAGH.
